Ingredients

4 (6 oz each) salmon fillets
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp lemon zest
1 medium, diced mango
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Step 1: Pat 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tbsp chopped parsley, 1 tbsp lemon zest, and 1/4 tsp salt. Press the herb mixture evenly over both sides of each fillet.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add salmon fillets, herb-side down, and cook for 4 minutes without moving.
Step 3: Flip fillets and cook for an additional 3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 125°F and the fish is just opaque in the center.
Step 4: While fish cooks, combine 1 diced medium mango, 1/4 cup diced red onion, 2 tbsp lime juice, and 1 tbsp olive oil in a bowl. Stir to combine and let sit for 5 minutes to meld flavors.
